Collaborated with small molecule teams, Solid State, Discovery, and Formulation, and external clients to design formulations and experiments to further test targeted API. Tested oral absorption of different formulations of drugs using the advanced gastrointestinal model Tiny-TIM to give insight on how different physicochemical changes will impact oral bioavailability through raw data and PK modelingDeveloped methods for bioanalytical testing for the filtrate from Tiny-TIM using HPLCRan solubility tests, XRPD, PLM, PAMPA on different API/formulations to research and validate data for use in modeling of oral drugsMaintained Tiny-TIM machinery, biorelevant media, and kept calibrated to industry standardsWorked with over 15 different projects with multiple different targets by giving data that has benefited formulation development and have used data from Tiny-TIM as an application for FDA biowaiver for research drugs.
